Design The pump is designed with a tangential fluid inlet and a tangential fluid outlet. The
hydraulic system runs in its own bearings and is connected to the motor by a shaft
coupling.
Function The fluid enters the pump tangentially via the suction nozzle (1) and is accelerated
outward by the rotating impeller (5). In the flow passage of the pump casing the
kinetic energy of the fluid is converted into pressure energy. The fluid is pumped to
the discharge nozzle (10), where it leaves the pump. The clearance gap (6) prevents
any fluid from flowing back from the casing to the suction nozzle. The shaft (7)
enters the hydraulic system through the volute casing (4). The shaft passage through
the sealing housing is sealed to atmosphere with a shaft seal (9). The shaft runs in
rolling element bearings (3 and 8) located in a bearing housing (2) which is
connected to the volute casing (4).
Sealing The pump is sealed by a shaft seal (standardised mechanical seal or gland packing).

8.1 Explanation of faults


The example illustrated in the diagram serves to facilitate understanding of the
causes of faults/malfunctions and their remedies described in the Trouble-shooting
section.
Many operating faults/malfunctions on pumps are caused by hydraulic phenomena.
The hydraulic behaviour of a pump is illustrated by its characteristic curves H, P, Eta
and NPSH in combination with the system characteristic curves HA and NPSHA as a
function of flow rate Q. The operating point B is given by the intersection between
the system curve HA and the pump's characteristic curve H.
If the cause of a fault or malfunction is unclear, consult your nearest KSB service
centre.
